Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase

of a Mæstro 4525 cordless

telephone.

Walking and talking with cordless

technology

With the Mæstro 4525 you are no

longer tied to your phone. You can

move from room to room, or even

outside while on a call. Now you’re

mobile!

Secure to roam your home

Mæstro 4525 provides 1 million

different security codes so that only

your handset will work with your

base.

Access to Advanced Features

In addition, Mæstro 4525 provides

you with advanced features to save

you time, and provide you with

information. Some of these features

are:

Name and number directory

stores up to 30 personal numbers

for easy dialing.

Number and name display

shows you the number you’re

dialing. With Caller ID service

(available from your telephone

company), see the incoming caller’s

name and number before you

answer the call.

Caller’s list

works with Caller ID

service to keep track of everyone

who called (up to 30 entries), and

allows you to easily return their call.

Intercom

allows you to call the

base from outside a room, or ring

the handset so that you can ﬁnd it.

Redial

key remembers the last 3

numbers you dialed.

Backlit display and lighted dial

pad

lets you know who’s calling

even in the dark.

Any

key answer makes answering

calls quick and easy.

25 Channel Autoscan

allows you

to achieve optimum clarity.

By the way...

Cordless telephones transmit

conversations using radio waves, so

there is a possibility that your

conversations will be overheard by

others. They should not be treated

as totally conﬁdential.

The base must be located where the

signals will not be blocked by large

metal objects (metal fencing, large

applicances, etc), or interfered with

by electronic devices (microwave

ovens, computers, stereos, etc).

Your handset is powered by

rechargeable batteries, which must

be charged and maintained as

described in the Installation chapter.

This guide covers

• a tour of your telephone

• installation and setup

• using your Mæstro 4525

Choosing the best location

For best results:

• the base should be the only item

plugged into the wall outlet

• the antenna should be fully

extended

• the base should be centrally

located, away from electrical

equipment such as computers,

refrigerators, fluorescent lights,

stereos, etc.

• locate the base on an upper floor

• the handset should be kept as

close to normal room

temperature as possible

Connecting the telephone

Caution:

For eye safety, do not

extend the antenna until installation

is complete.

1. Plug the AC adaptor into a 120 V

AC outlet and insert the small

plug into the DC 12 V jack on

the back of the base (see

(page 30)).

Note:

The AC outlet should not

be controlled by a switch

or connected to a power

bar.

2. Plug one end of the telephone

cord into a telephone wall jack

and the other end into the jack

on the back of the base.

3. To keep the cords from being

pulled out, route the cords in the

channel under the base.

Installation

Attaching the stand in the

desk mount position

1. Fold the cords back as shown.

2. Lower the stand into the slots on

the base, as shown below.

3. Slide the stand into the locked

position.

4. Continue routing the cords in the

channels on the stand.

5. Place the phone on a desk.

6. Pull the base antenna vertical and

extend it all the way up.

7. Plug the AC adaptor into a 120 V

AC outlet, which is not controlled

by a switch or power bar.

Attaching the stand in the

wall mount position

1. Bring the line cord through the

opening in the stand, then lower

the stand into the slots on the

base.

2. Slide the stand into the locked

position, as shown below.

* We recommend that you use a wall mounting plate

(available at your phone retailer). If wall mounting

without a plate, use the stand as a template for

positioning screws in the wall.

3. Plug the line cord into the wall

jack. Line up the screws on the

wall mount plate with the

openings in the stand and slide

the phone down until the

mounting screws hold firmly.

4. Continue routing the cords in the

channels on the stand.

5. Remove the tab from the base

and reinsert it with the point up.

Make sure the tab is in all the

way

. Hang the handset on the

tab. If the charge light does not

light up, and the handset is

switched on, the tab has not been

locked into position.

6. Pull the base antenna vertical and

extend it all the way up.

Charging the handset

battery

When you ﬁrst plug in your phone,

you will need to

charge the

battery for at least 5 hours

before you can use the handset.

This is best done by charging

overnight.

1. Leave the phone on the base as

shown, with the charge light on

and the

handset power switch

off.

Note:

The handset power switch

is on the bottom of the

handset.

2. After the battery is charged,

turn

the handset power on

. The

display will show:

3. Select the language you want on

the display by pressing the key

under

Note:

The next time you charge the

handset, simply put it on the base. It

is not necessary to turn the power

OFF after the first charging session

(see (page 9)).

Note:

The handset should be stored

off the base.

The battery will last

longer if you allow it to run

down completely between

charges

. (Leave it off the base until

the

prompt appears on

the display.)

Quick charge

The Mæstro 4525 comes with a

reduced charge time feature called

“Quick charge”. Simply place the

handset on the base (no need to

turn the handset switch off). The

Mæstro 4525 is able to determine

how long the handset battery needs

to recharge. When the handset is in

the base and Quick charge is

activated, the display message

will be

displayed.

A completely empty battery will

only take 4-5 hours to fully

recharge. The handset may be left

on the base even after Quick charge

is ﬁnished. A “trickle” charge will

keep the battery fully charged.

During trickle charge you may view

the Battery level indicator by

pressing the

display key.

We recommend that you keep the

handset as close to normal room

temperature as possible. In cases of

extreme heat or cold (outside in the

heat or cold), the Battery level

indicator may not display

accurately. To ensure a fully

charged battery, charge the handset

for at least 5 hours. Battery life may

be affected by continued exposure

to extreme heat or cold.

Note:

Its recommended that you

only charge the battery once the

message is displayed.

Battery level indicator

You may check the battery level of

your handset by pressing the

display key

when at the idle display.

You may check this indicator when

the handset is in or out of the base.

Battery saver mode

The handset saves battery power by

going into battery saver mode 45

seconds after the last key press. In

this mode, the display “sleeps”

(goes blank), but the handset still

receives calls. When you use the

handset again the display

automatically “wakes up” (shows

information). If it doesn’t, make

sure the handset power switch is

on.

Changing the battery

If you’ve charged the battery and

the display still says

the handset will not wake up, it’s

time to replace the battery. New

batteries are available from your

phone retailer. Use either the GES-

PCH01 or the 3N-270AA Sanyo

battery.

1. Move the handset power switch

to OFF.

2. Slide the cover off the battery

compartment.

3. To remove a dead battery, pull

firmly on the battery cords.

4. To install the new battery, insert

the battery plug, making sure the

black wire is on the left.

5. Slide the battery into the

compartment.

6. Replace the cover of the battery

compartment.

7. Charge the new battery, as

described on (page 8).
